extreme events have multiplied, and according to experts, they are a direct consequence of climate change, which has brought unexpected and devastating floods. In just eleven days so far in September there have been eight extreme events and thousands of people have been trapped by floods.

The image of floods has been repeated around the world since the beginning of September. USA, LibyaHong Kong, Spain, Brazil and Greece are some of the affected countries. In Libya, a storm has left the west of devastated country. Meanwhile, in Spain, dozens of towns are still without water because of the DANA that we suffered at the beginning of the month.

Álvaro Navarro, laSexta meteorologist, explains that “with global warming the water temperature is getting warmer, we have more evaporation and more water available in the atmosphere and, therefore, greater episodes of extreme rain and flooding.” “This is because the water cycle has intensified“he details.

This has given rise to natural disasters with incalculable damage and record numbers such as more than 1,000 liters than the storm Daniel left in some parts of Greece. Or the most 70,000 people trapped in the desert due to sudden rainfall. It is the post-apocalyptic image that no one expected to leave Burning Man, a macro festival whose keys are fire and desert.

Navarro points out that, in addition, “we come from a time in which everyone the oceans have broken a temperature record. “We have had effects of very unusual events in a very short period of time,” he adds. And experts warn that everything seems to indicate that these phenomena are going to become more and more frequent.
